ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation. AI COOLING II Balance the thermals and acoustics of any build with a single click. A proprietary ASUS algorithm slashes unnecessary noise while running a quick stress test, and then monitors CPU temperatures to dynamically adjust fans to optimal speeds. Traffic Monitor Armoury Crate's Traffic Monitor tracks your current WiFi channel usage. Move to a less congested channel by clicking the “Channel Switch” button* for improved network performance. *The "Channel Switch" function requires pairing with an ASUS router. If not paired with an ASUS router, the channel change process can be performed in the "Router IP" section of the Traffic Monitor. Fast Check Armoury Crate's Fast Check empowers users to rapidly detect WiFi signal strength​. Direction Finder Armoury Crate's Direction Finder* helps users detect the optimal antenna orientation for achieving the best WiFi signal strength. *The Direction Finder is only compatible with connections in the 5GHz and 6GHz bands DDR5 DOMINATION ROG has a long legacy of flexing the fastest memory performance, and DDR5 is no outlier. Thanks to improved signal routing, now enthusiast-grade kits have been driven far beyond the 8 GT/s mark on the ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme, and who knows how far future DIMMs can go? Seasoned veterans can test their mettle by tinkering with the extensive array of tuning options in the UEFI. *Memory overclocking may vary between CPU series.

Review: Looks great, tastes even better - Very good board, this arrived damaged, adhesive from the VRM film was welded on. This one was sent back, ended up buying another one from CCL.
Review: This was not new - Unfortunately my new mobo arrived with cpu cover removed, damage to many of the pins and with the protective film removed on some of the panels. Clearly used and returned and then sent out to me. I have returned for a refund and have ordered an alternative mobo just in case the returned mobo arrives back on my doorstep.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intel still way better
*by M***K on 29 September 2025*

Being intel it’s fantastic. Had the 9800x3D sorry it’s all smoke and fake news, only 1080p games shine with upscale tech 1440 and 2160 the 13900 14900 and the 285k shine, 1080p is ok if you want to count the pixels.
